PROSTATE CANCER RISK & LIFESTYLE

Posted: 05.11.2016

A
healthy lifestyle may significantly reduce the risk of prostate cancer
death, according to new research. The ten-year study followed 63,000
men and their adherence to six different lifestyle habits that reduce
risk of advanced prostate cancer. The six habits were: maintaining a
healthy weight, exercising vigorously, not smoking (for at least 10
years), eating fatty fish at least once a week, eating tomato products
(rich in lycopene) most days, and having no more than three servings a
week of red or processed meat. Men who followed at least 5 of the 6
habits had a 50% reduced risk of dying from advanced prostate cancer.
